About this property

Quiet retreat on Little Whitefish Lake

Little Whitefish Resort has 8 total cabins all on the lake and is a perfect "Up North" escape. Each cozy cabin has its own unique decor and layout so you can find the right one that fits your vacation needs (This is cabin 8 for booking reference). We also have a cafe/bar on-site for delicious meals and drinks, so you can enjoy more of your vacation to do what you want and spend less of it cooking. If you do prefer to cook, each cabin has a charcoal grill and fully equipped kitchen.

Since the 1950’s guests of all sorts have visited this small, rustic, lakefront resort for a fun family getaway, girls/guys weekend trip, relaxing vacation away from home, or for those master (or novice) fishermen looking for a great bite. Little Whitefish Lake is best known for its large Crappies, Sunnies, Northern, Bass and Walleye. This resort has the only public boat launch on the lake.

If fishing isn't your main focus, water sports are also welcomed! Jet ski, water tube/ski, and kayaking are perfect ways to use the lake as well. Cruising the lake is enjoyable as you come into contact with wildlife. Loons, birds, and if you're lucky, even deer and bears taking a drink on shore can be seen! Sunsets are phenominal and a great way to end a lake day. Come back to one of our firepits to roast some s'mores and wind down (firewood included).

An easy 90 min drive from Minneapolis/ St. Paul makes this location easily accessible and the best of both lake worlds. On one hand you have the 2nd largest Minnesotan lake (Mille Lacs) 1 mile drive down the road, and on the other you have a peaceful hidden gem right in your backyard! Staying on a small lake provides great boating conditions, or you can conveniently head down the road to the Big Pond (Mille Lacs) when the weather's permitting. We are also right on ATV/snowmobile trails, a short drive to Northwood Hills Golf Course, Kathio State Park, 10 minutes from Garrison, and a 5 minute drive to Grand Casino Mille Lacs.

A dock space is included with your stay (bring your own boat or rent one at our resort-advanced notice needed). We also have an onsite fish cleaning house for you to clean your fish and grill it up right at your cabin's own outdoor charcoal grill. Kayaks, 2 paddle boats, paddle board, and aluminum row boats are also included - first come first serve.
There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a shower/tub combination.Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Quench your thirst with your favorite drink at the bar/lounge.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Fun at the Lake
My family and I had a blast on the lake! The house was cozy and had all the amenities we needed. Lydia and Brian were very accommodating and were easy to contact. We enjoyed fishing all week and caught a nice variety of fish. Our family took advantage of all the water toys at the resort. We kayaked, row boated, paddle boated, paddle boarded and got to cruise around the lake in a pontoon. Garrison was a short drive away when we needed supplies and we explored the area around Mille Lacs. Each cabin had it's own grill to cook on. We had a nice big table to eat and play cards on. When we were not enjoying the lake we played ping-pong, video games or watched Roku TV. Brian seemed very busy working around the property and accommodating all the guests, but he still took the time to show us some cool spots on the lake and to make sure we had an anchor or whatever we needed for that day's adventure. We made some fantastic family memories at Little Whitefish lake resort, and I hope yours does too.
